Too many shoppers and too few spots is a recipe for driver frustration -and not everybody plays nice, writes Dianne Nice. If you have a photo to add to this gallery, please e-mail it to globedrive@globeandmail.com, or tweet to @Globe_Drive.

This was taken at the Fairfield Plaza on Fairfield Road in Victoria, which is always very busy so parking is at a premium. I guess this character was well aware that a Hummer is too big to fit into just one of these "SMALL CAR" spaces so the solution was obviously to use TWO "SMALL CAR" spaces! The "Lazy Susan's" sign to the left was fitting!!

It’s raining and windy, but surely nobody else would like a good parking spot near the door?(Danielle Boudreau/The Globe and Mail)

I took this one at a Toronto GO train station. The driver parked in the aisle and that's a ticket on the windshield.
